Liam Dawson Commits Future to Hampshire With New Three-Year Deal  

The Hampshire all-rounder has committed his long-term future to the club as part of a new three-year deal

Hampshire Cricket are delighted to announce that Liam Dawson has committed his long-term future to the club, signing a new contract which will keep him at the The Ageas Bowl until at least the end of 2022.

Dawson, who has made 369 appearances across all formats for Hampshire since making his first-team debut back in 2007, has agreed a new deal three-year deal.

I’m very happy to commit to another three years at the Hampshire, a club I’ve been at since I was 10 years old. I had offers from a couple of other teams, but I felt that the progress that we’ve made, particularly in red-ball cricket, has shown potentially we could win the Championship in the near future and I’d love to be a part of that. After speaking to the club there’s a good vision going forward and what we’re going to try and to do to win trophies and a County Championship in the next few years.

Liam has been an integral part of the side for a long time now and we’re delighted that he’s committed his long-term future to the club. His excellent contributions with both bat and ball across all formats have been crucial to our success for a significant period of time and, having played for the Hampshire age-group sides and Academy as a youngster, we’re proud of what he’s achieved both here and with England.

He is now of the age and experience to help shape the club’s future through his performances on the pitch and his positive influence on our younger players.”

Giles White, Director Of Cricket

After featuring for Hampshire’s age-group sides as a youngster, Dawson broke into the first-team at the end of the 2007 campaign, making his debut in a List A match against Northamptonshire at the age of just 17.

First-class and T20 debuts then followed, before he quickly become a first-team regular. His contributions with both bat and ball have been integral to the side’s success ever since, with 10,532 runs to his name to go with 369 wickets in all formats.

Dawson has featured prominently as part of multiple trophy successes in that time, helping Hampshire claim their first T20 trophy in 2010, limited-overs double in 2012 and last year’s Royal London One-Day Cup triumph at Lord’s.

His skill in all disciplines has also earned him international honours with England in recent years, claiming Test, ODI and T20I caps, whilst also being a member of the 15-man 2019 World Cup winning squad as Eoin Morgan’s men created history at Lord’s in July.

The best way to catch Liam and the rest of the squad in action in 2019 is at this summer's remaining Vitality Blast and Specsavers County Championship fixtures.
